When Chelsea won their first Champions League about twelve years ago many people never believed they would make it to that level. They just sacked their coach and appointed an inexperienced Roberto Di Matteo after sacking Villas-Boas. But the team was united and made it to their first-ever Champions League title. Arsenal have a good team made up of both young and experienced players. Mikel Arteta has been able to motivate these players to become warriors. They might not be as exposed as other top teams but I dont doubt their ability to come up with some surprises. If they have luck behind them, we might see the Gunners in the semi and even the finals.

Since 2020, Manchester City have faced Liverpool three times. It will be the fourth time this season. And every time these two teams faced each other, the matches were very competitive.



Manchester City have won 4 matches in 6 matches over three seasons, and Real Madrid have won just one match. Although the matches were competitive, the result was in favor of Manchester City. Real Madrid failed to beat City.

But this season's scenario is different. Manchester City's performance has been somewhat erratic due to injuries to De Bruyne and Haaland. The team is not playing well consistently. Manchester City is not even able to occupy the top spot of the Premier League. So if Real Madrid's performance is stable, they have the potential to qualify for the semi-finals.

Manchester City and Real Madrid have many chances to play head to head in four latest seasons. Again they will meet each other in this season. Their matches in quarter finals are like an early final match of Champions League 2023 -2024.

Real Madrid are more experienced than Manchester City and  with not too good defense of Manchester City, chance for Real Madrid to have a win after all. Real Madrid with better solution, is perfect for his friends.

A fair draw... the quarter-finals will be an interesting match for us to watch later...

It's not a nightmare, I think Arsenal still has the ability to prevent Bayern Munich from qualifying but we all know both teams are still at the top of their respective leagues even though Bayern Munich had difficulty beating Leverkusen so that's something different.

Will PSG fall to Barcelona? It shouldn't be, Barcelona is in decline but it is said that the Champions League match is still difficult to predict, but I feel PSG can qualify.

Don't be too quick to judge and now all the teams have reached the quarterfinals. Arsenal does not have a satisfactory reputation and it has been a long time since they reached the quarter-finals. I have another view and the Gunners look like they will explode in this tournament until they reach the final. Bayern Munich is indeed very strong, in the past they even created a unique score in two legs against Arsenal with the same number, namely 5-1 with a win for Munich. But this season the condition of the German team is starting to decline a little so Arsenal has the opportunity to beat them.

The draw by UEFA between this both clubs is really in equilibrium like the both clubs are almost equal in performance and it would really be difficult to predict which team will advance to the semi finals because I feel that the both clubs will have some advantages in their home ground.


PSG and Barcelona match also seems like a balanced draw by the football body UEFA because the both teams are almost in same performance this season but PSG seems to be the favourite because since Kylian Mbappe will be leaving PSG this season, I think he would want to leave a memory at PSG thereby he will be very inquisitive to advance to the next level of the champions league so I strongly believe that PSG will emerge the winner of this fixture.

This draw by UEFA seems to be an unfortunate game for Arsenal because judging from their previous meetings with Bayern Munich, the results are not mostly in favour of Arsenal but let's see how it goes because with the kind of energy and determination that Arsenal have shown both in the premier league and the Champions league so far, they can take every one by surprise because this is football so the unexpected can be expected at any time.


This is the most difficult draw by UEFA because this both clubs have a very impressive champions league records though Real Madrid had better champions league record than Manchester city but in recent years, Manchester city has always been a strong force in the champions league so there is no doubt that this match between this both teams is the hardest for this quarter finals.

Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund are the lucky teams in this draw. If these two teams were drawn against other teams, they would probably be seen as the weaker team in the match. I think they are happy to be drawn against each other.

Real Madrid vs Manchester City is really an early final. We are used to seeing this draw every year. Last year Manchester City were victorious. This year Real Madrid are stronger than last year. We might see a different result this year.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Barcelona and Arsenal vs Bayern Munich are matches open to surprise results. It is difficult for me to make a prediction about them.

I agree with you, I believe Arsenal are a good team but they are not yet the team to compete in the Champions League and win the trophy. They might not fare too well against tough opposition in the Champions League. To do well in the Champions League tournament or to secure the final, the best performance is required and we may not be seeing that best performance from Arsenal right now. We could see PSG with Manchester City Real Madrid Bayern Munich in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

After ensuring qualification for the quarter-finals, a difficult job awaits Arsenal after facing Bayern Munich. This time Arsenal will face a more difficult opponent than Porto, Arteta must maintain his team's performance consistently in order to reach the next round. The fewer teams remaining, the more difficult the opponents Arsenal will face, they need to form a strong mentality to face other strong, more experienced teams in this competition.

Manchester City is in the trend of winning the UCL trophy for the second time in a row, but facing Real Madrid this season will be more difficult than last season. Real Madrid will try to provide competitive resistance to Manchester City as well as avenge their defeat last season. Manchester City is still the favorite team based on the consistent performance shown in this competition. Real Madrid will not easily get rid of Manchester City because Guardiola is very experienced in developing strategies when facing Real Madrid.

Despite Arsenal's results in the Premier League, I am also inclined to believe that Bayern will most likely become an impassable opponent for Arsenal. It looks like things are getting better for Bayern in recent matches, they are similar to their former selves, and besides, the match with Porto showed that Arsenal are not so strong, especially in the away match.
Real will have to play City again and they meet again too early, the quarter-finals are too early for such a match, but this will give other teams a chance to advance further, because everyone understands that Real and City are one of the most difficult opponents at this stage.

Arsenal has broken the records in this season to escape round of 16 in the hands of Porto and, it look like Arsenal coach have some work to do to make the team function well in their next level they are about to enter to reach quarter final.

I don't think Real Madrid will have such opportunity they had last season in this season because, all those teams from premier league competition will not allow such mistakes to happen again, Many people have chosen Manchester city to be their favorite team to lift the UEFA champions league trophy.

Indeed, your predictions are reasonable and in line with what several teams have experienced. However, in my opinion, the quarter-finals of the Champions League will make their match more serious and improve existing shortcomings to reach the final, and will even try to get the big ear trophy in this very prestigious league.
All of them are difficult matches because the best team will qualify for the quarter-finals.
Arsenal vs Bayern Munich
Both teams have a long history in the Champions League, but Arsenal often experience bad results against Bayern Munich.
Can Arsenal erase this bad history? Arsenal is currently performing well and is at the top of the Premier League standings and I hope Arsenal can win this match and the two matches that make everything possible.
Real Madrid vs Manchester City
The last time these two teams met was in the semifinals of the Champions League and Manchester City were champions last season, and I think this will be the most interesting match.

Can Arsenal break the curse this season because as usual, Tomas Muller is very enthusiastic about welcoming his friend Kai Havertz, on April 9. This will be the most exciting match and this time perhaps Arsenal need to forget the history of their meetings so they can calm down a bit and not be a scary image. Bayern Munich squad is different so expecting a big score will not happen. At least Arsenal can provide resistance because with Bayern Munich situation under Tuchel, Arteta and his troops can still take advantage of it a little.

I actually don't want Madrid to experience the same thing as last season, but I also can't expect much if you look at the Man City squad which is still stronger. Madrid has young players but still hopes that Kross and Modric can still help Madrid face Man City. Bellingham must also be sure to be ready because it is not easy to beat the current Man City squad.

Real Madrid vs Manchester City

I just post my thought earlier yesterday that it could be fantastic if both teams can met at quarterfinal stages because i considers they are the strongest candidate to gets the trophy in this competition and it just happend today that drawing results makes them have to met early and i have to says during this season both teams were playing with very consistent in all competitions and whether it Real Madrid and Manchester City still fight for race title at their domestic league so it's very interesting to see who is the winner of this match

Besides the factors which i mentioned above i think this match also the real tested for Manchester City because just like i said before from group stages until round of 16 Manchester City always be met weak opponents which on the paper those teams quality is below to Manchester City and for now we only can judge from head to head statistics between these teams and if i am not mistaken both teams has been met last season at semifinal and at that time Manchester City can able to eliminate Real Madrid with final aggregate 5-1 so i am sure Real Madrid have an ambition want to gets revenge so let see it later whether Real Madrid can accomplished their target or not

I haven't checked the odds yet but i assume the bookmakers will provide high odds for them but my prediction is Manchester City has good chances to repeat their achievement and overcomes Real Madrid but i think it won't be easy because Real Madrid has been done a lot of improvement into their squad especiaĺly currently Real Madrid has Bellingham and Manchester City should beware of this player because this season Bellingham was being an key player of Real Madrid

This is indeed super draws by the UEFA board, Arsenal vs. FC Bayern Munich, in this particular fixture, here comes the end of Arsenals Champions League trophy dream this season, I doubt if Bayern Munich will spare Arsenal at this point, And going back into history, English teams usually don't have that good winning records when playing against FC Bayern and not only that, Arsenal won't be able to stand the pressure from the German opponent team based on current head-to-head strength, whereas in other draws, It's difficult to predict which team goes through between, FC Real Madrid and Manchester city, PSG vs. Bayern, But I'm confident of betting on at over 1.5 goals from these games, this game fixture.

Arsenal could be said to be lucky after the drawing was made, Bayern Munich was not like last season which overwhelmed their opponents when they faced them. Bayern Munich inconsistent performance makes it easier for Arsenal to face them, especially since Arsenal's performance this season is in the best condition.
Meanwhile, a fierce duel was also created when defending champions Manchester City met Real Madrid. This match will be a repeat of last year's semifinal, Manchester City managed to get rid of Real Madrid before becoming champions. This match will be very exciting because it will be decorated with the smell of revenge from Real Madrid, but Manchester City, which is still very strong, will make Real Madrid more careful because Pep Guardiola's troops could punish them a second time.

I predict Borussia Dortmund will qualify from the quarter-finals. Dortmund has changed a lot even though Atletico qualified for the quarter finals after beating Inter Milan who were in their best game.

I don't expect Barcelona to get past the quarter-finals. Facing PSG, Barcelona will have difficulties because PSG this season in the UCL really wants to get to the final round and win the UCL.
So, I predict PSG.

I choose Bayern Munich and Manchester City who will qualify from their two matches.
Arsenal and Real Madrid are not included in my predictions this season after their struggles until before the quarter-finals.

The drawing results make it difficult for everyone to predict the final result, overall I agree with you. Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City will advance to the semi-finals. Not meaning to underestimate the other four teams, everyone has their own assumptions. It was hoped that the Manchester City versus Real Madrid meeting would take place in the final, but the draw results said otherwise.

The Champions League draw looks exciting! It's going to be interesting to see how the matches unfold.

Arsenal - Bayern
I have faith in today's Arsenal team; they're capable of defeating anyone. Arteta has a good track record against Tuchel, so it's time for revenge. Moreover, this Bayern team isn't as strong as before, so Arsenal should advance easily.

Atletico Madrid - Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund has a tough opponent, but they can win with focus and determination. Otherwise, Atletico Madrid will likely progress to the next round.

Real - City
It's great to see City facing Madrid again, although City has been a tough opponent for Real Madrid. Both teams have strong players, so it should be a thrilling match.

PSG - Barcelona
Once considered a major fixture, now it's just another average game. It might be better for Barcelona to face a lesser opponent rather than City, Madrid, Dortmund, Arsenal, or Bayern. Nonetheless, good luck to Barcelona, even though they're not in top form.

That's true and it's certain that Real Madrid will take revenge for last season's humiliation by Manchester City. Surely some of us have not forgotten how the match went and Los Blancos had to remain silent after being humiliated by The Cityzen with a score of 4-0 in the second leg. This defeat resulted in a 5-1 aggregate win for Manchester City and they finally advanced to the final and succeeded in becoming champions.

It is true that whoever wins between these two teams will open the way to winning the title with greater possibilities. Moreover, if Manchester City knocks Real Madrid out of the Champions League again then they will definitely be the champions and vice versa if Real Madrid sends Manchester City home then they will be the champions. I think these two teams are connected to each other and let's see the big match that will be presented in April.
